Full-time cartoonist

Holding a black position, not sticking to your eyes?

This gives Hibiki a first-mover advantage.

"Let's divide it first," Higashino Hibiki said: "Although I am not the opponent of Odagiri's shogi player, I still want to have a serious and fair contest."

Xiao Heye glanced at Odagiri, saw him nodding secretly, and agreed.

After the secretary left, Higashino glanced at the embarrassed Odagiri and said with a smile: "Odagiri-kun, I will play this game seriously, and I hope you can play it seriously too."

Odagiri hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"As a cartoonist, I don't have much time to play chess at all." Hibiki Higashi looked up, glanced at the chess court, and sighed: "This may be the most important game in my life. From now on, my chess path will be Please give it to you.”

He stood up and walked towards the Qi Yuan auditorium.

Odagiri's eyes trembled. He thought of a very familiar sentence.

"Could it be!" He looked at Higashino Hibiki's back in disbelief, "Tori Akino-sensei is just...how is this possible?"

…

Photographed by NHK, in the auditorium of the Go Academy, Toshimitsu Matsuo handed the medal to Hibiki Higashino with both hands to commend him for his contribution to Go.

There is also a bonus of 10 million yen.

Under the flash photography, Hibiki always felt that his teeth were shining.

This is ten million yen.

I didn't expect that the Chess Academy could be so generous despite its fiscal revenue deficit. It was much better than Jump.

He thought this was the climax, but Toshimitsu Matsuo put the title of honorary chess player at the end.

"Only 3-4 professional chess players are born in Tokyo every year," Toshimitsu Matsuo said with a solemn expression, "So, this is honorable and sacred. I hope you can cherish the title of honorary chess player."

Higashikata nodded, "I also play Go often, so I naturally understand its importance. I am very scared and touched to be able to become an honorary chess player."

If it weren't for the fact that the Go professional exam was too time-consuming and that becoming a professional player required frequent participation in competitions, Higashino Hibiki would have wanted to take part in the game himself.

…

"The teacher is so awesome!"

In Higashino Hibiki's dormitory, watching the live broadcast, Oda said loudly.

Yoshii Sanjiu nodded, "It's like a star, shining brightly."

Akimiya Akemi blushed, "I didn't expect him to be quite photogenic."

There is a charm that successful people exude.

…

At the same time, many people were watching the live broadcast on TV.

Akira Toriyama was finishing his lunch and looked slightly sideways.

It is difficult to associate the person on TV with Hibiki Higashino, his former assistant.

"I really did it, Higashino-kun, it completely exceeded my expectations."

…

jump editorial department.

Sasaki watched the live broadcast.

"It's getting better and better, Toakino-kun."

His face was expressionless, but he was very uneasy inside.

At this moment, this young man's light is getting stronger and stronger.

It may not take long for him to become a Super Saiyan.

…

Higashino family.

Higashino Ichiro got off work early and stayed in front of the TV.

He finally saw Hibiki Higashikata on TV.

His son was shining brightly, and his eyes were red, "He is indeed a child of the Higashino family."

Dong Yexi touched the back of his hand and said, "Your mission is completed."

"Yes." Higashino Ichiro sighed, "Although it is a different path, Hibiki is already successful and famous now. He is better than me."

"In my heart..." Dong Yexi said.

Higashino Ichiro is looking forward to it.

"Sure enough, I think my son is more powerful." She then said with a smile.

Higashino Ichiro stumbled and almost fell down.

I thought it would comfort me.

"However," she looked at Higashino Ichiro, "Ichiro who can train excellent Hibiki is also very powerful."

"...Hmm." Higashino Ichiro lowered his head and fell silent.

…

Mei Higashino watched TV.

My brother is also awesome.

"so hot."

The seniors on the side covered their mouths and said in surprise.

Higashino Mei couldn't help but twist her mouth.

"He's my older brother."

"It would be nice to be my boyfriend."

"Yeah, you can become a famous voice actor."

"Idiot, why not be a voice actor? Wouldn't it be better to just be a full-time housewife?"

They laughed and talked and laughed.

Higashino Mei curled her lips and whispered, "I wouldn't choose you."

…

After passing the Go professional examination, a "new first-dan league" will be arranged to play a game with titled nine-dan players.

After all, Higashino Hibiki is only an honorary chess player. His "New Shodan League" arranged a game between him and Odagiri in the Yugen chess room.

Odagiri just finished the "New First-dan League" here, and he played against Masao Kato, the ninth-dan Go player.

Kato Kudan spoke highly of Odagiri.

He is very courageous in playing chess, he is not superstitious about nine levels, and he is active in attacking.

The chess moves are also very interesting, and he is a very possible chess player.

Arriving at the Youxuan Chess Room, although the area is small, it is very solemnly decorated.

It’s easy to be in awe of Go.

Higashi Hibiki's heart was full of fighting spirit.

Soon, Higashino Hibiki and Odagiri were playing chess.

"Please give me more advice."

"Please give me more advice."

Looking at Higashino Hibiki with a solemn expression, Odagiri had a lot of doubts and wanted to ask.

But as he was playing chess, he held back.

As the layout deepened, Odagiri's inner shock became greater and greater.

"This style..." The hand holding the chess piece trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with excitement, "It's the same as "Teacher Hibiki Higashino". "

He raised his eyes and looked at Hibiki Hibiki, whose eyelids were downward. He thought to himself: "Toriakino-sensei is Hibiki Hibiki?" "

His mood became increasingly restless.

…

Among the people watching in the chess academy, Kato Kudan was also there. He said with emotion: "I didn't expect that an author's chess skills can already match those of professional chess players."

"Don't you know, Kato-senpai?" Shinoda said: "Tori Akino-kun once defeated Yamazaki Mei's second dan."

"This kind of thing still exists. I don't pay much attention to public opinion. But this girl Yamazaki is really shameful. She lost to an amateur chess player." Kato Masao shook his head while holding the folding fan.

But as the chess game progressed, he said "Hey".

"Unexpectedly, in the middle game, there are still some back and forth. There are no loopholes. It's a pity that such a powerful talent is used to draw comics."

Shinoda 4th Dan said: "Tori Akino-kun is also very talented in drawing comics..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at the ongoing chess game, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

"What's this hand?"

…

Odagiri's heart became more and more confused, and his mind was filled with things about Tori Akino and "Higashino Hibiki".

After habitually playing a move of chess, he suddenly paused.

"I..." He broke into cold sweat and turned pale.

Dong Yexiang took a closer look in surprise, scratched his head and looked around.

I found that no one stopped, so I continued.

The TV screen cut to the explanation. Two middle-aged professional chess players originally praised Odagiri for his stable chess skills despite his young age.

When I saw this hand, I was completely stunned.

"Eh? Why are you here?"

"Did you make a mistake accidentally?"

They said they couldn't understand.

…

"Is this a mistake?" Shinoda was in disbelief.

Kato Masao patted the folding fan and said angrily: "What is Odagiri thinking? He would play such a chess that even a novice would not play! He gave up his upper left corner."

He looked at the president and Xiao Heye. The president was stunned and also looked at Xiao Heye.

They hesitated, "Did you let Odagiri Chudan lose on purpose?"

"Absolutely not!" Xiao Heye shook his head violently, not wanting to take the blame, "Tori Akino-sensei said we wanted a fair fight. This must be Odagiri-kun's mistake."

"It's normal for children to have unstable mentality when facing their idols."

Shinoda nodded, "This kid really likes "The Soul of the Game". It was because of this work that he started learning to play Go."

Kato Masao said "tsk" and immediately wanted to take back his previous evaluation of Odagiri.

"It is indeed full of surprises," he shook his head, "What a pity, I think this game is quite interesting."

…

Yes, Odagiri made a mistake. He made an absolutely bad move.

Clenching his fists and digging his nails into his flesh, he forced himself to calm down.

"The most important thing now is to play chess. Whether Tori Akino-sensei is Higashi Hibiki-sensei or not, you can ask after you finish playing chess! Concentrate! Concentrate!"

He stared at the chessboard intently, focusing all his energy on playing chess.

Be prepared to regain the disadvantage bit by bit.

It's a pity that Higashino Hibiki is not an ordinary person. Although the two of them have different chess skills, the gap is not big.

For such an obvious mistake, Higashino Hibiki would definitely not let him make up for it.

After playing another twenty moves, Odagiri lowered his head in frustration, "I lost."

Throw in the towel mid-game.

To everyone's surprise, Hibiki Higashino won again.

The Creator wins over his hero.

The two packed up the chessboard and walked out of the Youxuan chess room.

Accept post-match interview.

NHK host asked Odagiri, "Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

Odagiri said regretfully: "Accidentally, my mood is still too bad."

The host asked Hibiki Higashino again, and Hibiki Higashino said that he did not expect this scene to happen.

There were some guesses in my heart.

Although it was unintentional, I felt a little guilty.

…

After the live broadcast ends.

In private.

Odagiri and Hibiki Higashino.

"I'm sorry!" Odagiri bowed at 90°, "It was all my fault that led to the accident in this round!"

Dong Yexiang shook his head, "It's all my fault that I didn't tell you directly."

He does have regrets in his heart and hopes to have a wonderful showdown.

This was probably Higashino Hibiki's first and last time playing chess in the Yugen chess room.

Very memorable.

"So," Odagiri raised his head, eyes wide open, "Toriakino-sensei is..."

"Well," Hibiki Higashi nodded, "My name is Hibiki Higashi." "

He smiled and said: "You worked hard, Odagiri. Now I have finally become a professional chess player, I am very happy."

It seemed like it was the afternoon of 1994 again, Hibiya Hibiki was instructing Odagiri to play chess.

The boy burst into tears immediately. He wiped the tears with his arms and mumbled: "Yeah!"
